Bison Gulch just south of Healy is a good daytrip hike. I've heard there's good trails in the Coal Creek area further south, but haven't done them myself. Out on the Richardson you can hit the Rainbow Mountains south of Delta - take the trail just North of the gravel pit and hike up the gulley - the little bowl valley up top is one of my favorite places in the state, but be warned I've encountered spooky stuff up there before (also huge mountain grizzlies). That can be a day trip, or you can camp in the bowl and push out the other side to explore the valley behind - good views, nice glacier, a million seabed fossils. If you do that don't forget to climb the scree slopes to the top of the peak - the views are grand and there are endangered flowers up there (don't pick).
If you want something a little more hazardous, you can try the trails in the White Mountains reserve. I've tried to hike to Mt. Prindle once, but the mountains said No with great emphasis. Around mile 80 on the Denali highway are some great little 4 wheeler trails off into the tundra. Terrible terrain, weather is usually shit, but there are some old mines out there and Butte lake is very nice (and loaded with trout). Avoid the stretch East of the Susitna river bridge over to Tangle lakes - that stretch of mountains is legitimately super haunted and best to avoid if you're not familiar with that crap. Upper Tangle lakes is also great if you've got a canoe or kayak (Kayak required if solo as the lake is bottlenecked and has serious current in one stretch) - there are some phenomenal camp sites on the first upper lake by the lodge (the one on the small island is one of my favorites). If you're really feeling adventurous you can portage over to lake #2, go up it, then portage to lake #3 and take the southern outlet. I forget which river that is, but it'll spit you out on the parks somewhere North of Glenallen iirc.
